So excited to finally have this out in the world! #edusky

Submitted some short stories today . . . my secret is obsessing over the last round of edits and then hitting "send" on the submission so fast I just start screaming. In case anyone wants to replicate the process.

Really proud of this one! Please check-out our highlight of the bipartisan work around digital equity for students that is ongoing in New Mexico.

This moment was so shocking to me. What is the implication? That we are removing federal civil rights protections and its ok that some states won't do a good job?? McMahon came to ease concerns about block granting and I don't think she is accomplishing that today.

Good morning to those of you fighting for education this morning in Washington DC! We're here standing with you. We're here to fight for these kids!! #EdMatters #ProtectOurKids

How do you effectively dismantle the Dpt of Ed without going through Congress? You fire a ton of employees, which is what we anticipate is happening tonight at 6pm. @all4ed.bsky.social was proud to join the rally at ED today to support our civil servants & the essential work of the agency. #edusky

Are you free tomorrow? Because we need a minute. 🤔 @realjennofdc.bsky.social & @rebecalynda.bsky.social sit down with Kristen Hengtgen of @edtrust.bsky.social to tackle the often overlooked but critical role of college and career counseling in schools. Be sure to tune in tomorrow! #EDUSky

Umm, Can We Get A Minute? 🤔 ICYMI: join Jazmin Flores Peña, @realjennofdc.bsky.social, and @rebecalynda.bsky.social for this week's podcast episode where we explore the complex world of English learners and what that can mean for those in our school systems. Watch here: youtu.be/rdXjaZbo-SU

We have a consistent issue with this line of thinking politically - you can't fail to fund something, work to sabotage it, and then stand around asking why it didn't work. Let's stop the political games and actually fund programs that we know work for our students. #edusky

Another day… another hearing. Join us over at @all4ed.bsky.social where we’ll follow the House’s hearing on Federal Investments in Elementary Education at 10:30aET appropriations.house.gov/schedule/hea...

A cheat sheet for those asking: Did my Senator show up for kids during yesterday’s hearing? Please join us in thanking those that did! #edusky

Senator Kim's emotion reflects the reality that so many of us know: we are talking about people, not numbers. Real educators, parents, students, administrators, school and district leaders. The education system is all of the dedicated people who work to teach and support our students every day.

Critical questions from the Senator: If private schools take federal money for vouchers, will they be allowed to turn away students based on disability or other protected status? McMahon is unfortunately unwilling to answer. #edusky

Senator Blunt Rochester showing the real emotion so many feel: "This is important, our students are important" #edusky

Linda McMahon is on the record now saying it is "not the President's plan to defund the programs" in ED, but our educators, students, and families deserve details for the many critical programs that provide support, services, and even food for children nationwide.

As McMahon begins her opening statement, it is important to reiterate that fed law prohibits ED from mandating curricula and standards. We cannot return to states what they already have and efforts to decrease services that support our most vulnerable students will harm not help our nation.

Linda McMahon's hearing on her appointment as the next Secretary of Education is beginning. You can watch live here: www.help.senate.gov/hearings/nom... #edusky

Our amazing CEO @amyloyd.bsky.social joins @rebecalynda.bsky.social and I for a conversation about the EOs on immigration, especially those impacting schools, and the impacts on our students and educators. Join us for this importance conversation at @getaminutepod.bsky.social #edusky

Today, our ELECTED Members of Congress were LOCKED OUT of the U.S. Department of Education. Now is the time for us all to take a stand for our nation’s public schools and our children and young people. Education is our future - let’s not dismantle it.

@amyloyd.bsky.social putting our recent ed poll into context. An important reminder that our government works FOR US! The majority of voters (from both parties) want public education strengthened, not defunded. #edusky

TOMORROW: Episode 3 of "Can We Get a Minute?" features @shannonmmiller.bsky.social, host of "Leading from the Library." Shannon talks with @realjennofdc.bsky.social and @rebecalynda.bsky.social in detail about school libraries...don't miss it! Here's a preview. #EDUsky all4ed.org/podcast/can-...

All4Ed will always stand with children, their families, educators, and communities across the nation in opposing policies that jeopardize their safety and education. #EDUsky Read All4Ed CEO @amyloyd.bsky.social's statement: all4ed.org/press_releas...

An important statement from our CEO on Trump's most recent actions on immigration: #edusky

😱😱😱 Please check out @rebecalynda.bsky.social and I’s first episode, where we lay out the basics of what we are doing and why we would love a minute of your time. If you are an educator, please see the links below to share education policy questions for us to cover on future episodes. #edusky

Voters are opposed to eliminating the Department of Education, including voters who identified as voting for Trump (who split about 50/50, but definitely not majority in support) 😳 See the rest of the results from @all4ed.bsky.social here: all4ed.org/publication/... #edusky

Poll results show that voters want public education that is robust, funded, and delivering great outcomes for our students. They do NOT agree with dismantling the public education system. This is why it's so important to go beyond "hot takes" to the real, nuanced reality of ed policy nationally.

Debate and voting on this bill will likely start at or shortly after 12pm ET. You can watch on CSPAN. Please call your representative! Title IX covers ALL sports in education, from intramural and educational sports teams up to Division 1 athletics. #edusky

When writing a novel what is the correct ratio between actually writing and thinking about making a plan to sit down and write if all conditions are completely perfect and all snacks are unexpired, in stock, and laid out in the proper configuration for maximum efficiency?

I am so excited to announce that @rebecalynda.bsky.social and I are launching a podcast! In exchange for a few minutes of your time, we will trace how a policy you see playing out in your schools every day actually gets made and how you can advocate for change. Follow below for launch info! #Edusky

Hi all! I am on Bluesky now:D I will add more in the coming days, just letting those of you who know me, know this is actually me and not a weird bot pretending to be me.
